WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Official Washington was in celebration mode on New Years Day after kind of averting a completely unnecessary crisis that was entirely of its own creation.

This deal proves that if we all procrastinate long and hard enough, we can semi-solve any self-inflicted problem at the very last minute in a way that satisfies no one, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).

The House had until midnight yesterday to pass the bill addressing the fiscal cliff. Instead, they went home early after a long day passing measures such as H.R. 6612, renaming Dryden Flight Research Center to the Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center.

Now, honoring a national hero such as Neil Armstrong is something worthwhile, I am certain the American people will be fine if they delayed such a move until after addressing the fiscal cliff which they refuse to take any responsibility for. What is disturbing, however, is that they would pick the Dryden center, named after Hugh Dryden, the NASA deputy administrator who helped lay the groundwork for getting Neil Armstrong on to the moon in the first place.
